    And repeat after me: controlling what appears on YOUR screen that YOU OWN is not illegal and in fact, a basic human right of yours

    Edit: lmao on the people intentionally misinterpreting what I said. Dude it’s my device, kindly fuck off if you think anyone gets to tell me what I HAVE to put on there

      Repeat after me: I will have the self-awareness to realize that I made the conscious decision to go to a website and incur server costs. I am not entitled to free content. If I don’t agree with how a website recoups costs, I won’t use that website.

      It’s not malware vectors. It’s not fake downloads. It’s short interstitials that let you watch things ‘for free.’ Youtube is not a human right. It’s not water. You can do other things.

        Fully agree. Honestly, I’m surprised you haven’t been down voted into nonexistence. People acting like, as you said, YouTube’s some sort of “right” was kinda funny at first but it’s descended into throwing a tantrum for getting caught doing something they shouldn’t have been doing in the first place. Petulant children.
